Draisatl wont go under 13.5, Bouchard will AT LEAST double if he gets one more season like that. Even if they win next year, just forget about both of em going on team friendly deals because of their last contracts. If the Oilers want to keep their core, they'll have to make some magic happen concerning Campbell and Nurse.
I disagree in regards with Bouchard. Bouchard was near the top of the league in zone denials, puck retrievals, and successful zone exits. He was also excellent at shot suppression and high danger chances against. He is excellent defensively
Maybe if those guys want that kind of money they should score when it matters 😂 Missed their chance and didnt even burn their city down. Not true fans.
Imagine david actually likes alberta, could never get a house like what he lives in now in calgary. Those simply dont exist. He and any player would be dumb to not leave canada atleast for a few years. Let the tax issue get sorted out.
Ugh stop it fellas. "Burn the boats" lol. This obsession you all have with Edmonton's demise is just so weird. Stick to the Flames. Enough issues to report on and analysis there friends.
Thats all that loser franchises can talk about, otherwise all they can talk about is how awful the Flames are and will be for many more years. Tkachuk was smart for leaving that toxic franchise. Tkachuk has a cup now, Flames will be golfing in April for the next 5 years minimum.
Connor did them no favours he took 12.5 per season when nobody who had ever won a cup made more than 8.7 Finally just last year Eichel at exactly 10 won. It adds up fast in a hard cap world. If Leon and mcdavid do matching 14 or 15 million dollar deals, yet their main competition has their top players at 10 they will be at a disadvantage. The NHL needs to find a solution to having a hard cap in a world where taxes are wildly different for each team.
Eichel is one of many comparables in the league lol 😂 you might wanna check out MacKinnon’s new contract and Auston Matthews’. Eichel doesn’t set the bar.
@danielnam9026 nobody was talking about setting the bar. It was about how no team that had a player making $10M on a team won a cup until last year. Maybe check what you are replying to before looking like a complete oblivious individual. 💀
Considering the cap was supposed to increase annually (the pandemic shut the world down), players making over 10M AAV winning the cup should’ve happened a lot sooner. Or did you forget there was a pandemic??
@danielnam9026 you can add narrative all you want. Cap doesn't just automatically go up. 🤣 all depends on revenue. So no you can't just give away big contracts believing the cap is just going to go up. 💀 that's called gambling. That's called desperate. Crosby never took more than $9M and has won 3 cups. But did you forget about that.
The pandemic is fact. You completely forgot the league had a flat cap for 3 years lol 😂 There was no revenue generated because there were no fans in attendance. The pandemic shut down the league prematurely in 2019-20. They played 56 games the following season with ZERO fans. NO FANS IN ATTENDANCE MEANS NO REVENUE GENERATED. Edmonton and Toronto hosted the bubble playoffs again with ZERO fans. If it weren’t for the pandemic the cap upper limit would’ve increased to 95-100M+ today. Crosby??? LOL Let me show you how many players that had 10M+ AAV at the time. Bobrovsky, Eichel, Barkov, Kopitar, Toews, Kane, Price, Marner, Tavares, Doughty, Karlsson, Matthews, Panarin, and McDavid. A lot of teams were screwed by the pandemic and that’s a fact. It’s baffling you completely ignored that Covid happened, you were probably living under a rock lol
How bad does life suck when you’re a commentator for the Flames. Be happy your one and only Cup was a gift from Gretzky. If you forgot Gretzky and the Kings beat the Oilers out so Calgary could finally get to the Cup in 89.
These guys are bigger Oilers haters then they are flames fans
That's why our fan base is awesome
They're salty

They have to trade Draisaitl next season if they can't get him signed. If traded they don't stand a chance at winning next year.
If Petterson is 11.6, Drai at 13.5 is a steal! He's worth more.
He will only be like 12.
I have loved this show since the Fan960 days but these hot takes on Leon’s, McDavid’s and Bouchard’s contract are so pathetically bad it’s hilarious
You’re forgetting guys WANT to play here, I know you guys wouldn’t understand that haha
Who wouldn’t want to play with McDavid? It’s not the city or the climate attracting players.
Guys want to play with the players Edmonton currently has. Don't get that twisted. Edmonton is not a destination in the NHL by any stretch.
Huberdeau wanted to play in Calgary. 😏
Love how Flames_Nation lives in these Coiler fans heads rent free 24/7. 😂😂😂😂😂
Bahaha its actually the opposite, these guys talk Oilers CONSTANTLY lol
What I love are Flames fans wearing Panthers jerseys... just to rub it in. 😂
Connor would never take a max deal. He knows that means his team can’t win. I loved these guys on Fan960 but this is just garbage
Love these guys!!! So much hate!!!
Isnt this the flames podcast? Why do you guys talk so much about the oilers ??
Talk about your team for once all I see is you guys talking shit about oil
Oilers living in the two queers heads rent free. 😅
I disagree in regards with Bouchard. Bouchard was near the top of the league in zone denials, puck retrievals, and successful zone exits. He was also excellent at shot suppression and high danger chances against. He is excellent defensively
Preview the 2025 draft boys! We need flames content

Draisaitl is getting 14+
I mean Florida got someone to take Huberdeau. I’m sure Edmonton will find someone to take Nurse and Campbell
Huberdeau just came off from great season before the trade. More accurate is that Kings offloaded the PLD to Caps.
Yeah this was really bad example.

And yall are pissing Mcdavids career away
They are in the hockey business 💀 how dare they speak on relevant topics at the moment.
fuck the oilers, y’all can’t even win with McDavid
Connor did them no favours he took 12.5 per season when nobody who had ever won a cup made more than 8.7

Cry harder.
No one in Calgary cares buddy, we are just relishing in Edmontons pain
And we are relishing in the fact that you bums wont see playoff hockey for many more years. 🫡
Flames fans just don't want to see the Oilers win...period.
Regards, a lifelong Flames fan in New York State.
Typical Oiler hubris and arrogance.
